Chapter 249 The Loneliness of Genius

At the beginning of March, the Japanese album and the Korean album were released at the same time. There was an R&B style song in each of the two singles, but they were not the main songs. The main songs were still the kind of slow-paced love songs. This is also the long-lasting style of music, and the audience is also the largest.

The reason for posting R&B songs is to test the reaction of the market and prepare for future operations, and the second is to exercise his grasp of this style and better adapt to this. R&B is a kind of rap music, which is a better experience, and also helps him to better understand the most popular music style in the black world.

The last Japanese single album "Lion" has changed due to the competition. Although it is a change of time, it still has not reached one million. It has been almost two months. There is a big gap in expectations before this.

Because there is not much time for publicity, the trip of Japan and South Korea adds up to only five days, but this time, nothing unexpected happened, and the five-day journey was completed safely and calmly.

There is no unnecessary interruption, and the effect is good. When I left Japan on the third day, the main song of the single disc "Just Love You" has quickly reached the major on-demand lists, and the sales of the album reached the top of Oricon early in this season of relatively low sales, but the sales volume in a day were only six. More than 10,000 copies, which is much different from the sales volume of more than 110,000 at the best time before.

Compared with the Oricon record of 1.33 million in a week in history and the highest sales of 300,000 a day, this is the helplessness of the off-season. This is also the reason why ordinary singers are unwilling to choose to release films in March and April. These two months can be described as songs. The taboo of hand-made films.

However, at such a moment, 20 days after the release of the Japanese and Korean albums, at the end of March, the Mandarin album Simple. Love was released ten months after the release of the last Mandarin album.

This is a Mandarin album that is also full of a large number of R&B styles. In addition to the most orthodox love songs such as "The Trouble of the Moon", it also includes Tao Zhe's "Love is very simple", "Melody", "Love me or him" and Chen Jin's two songs "Fate is You" and "True Love" written by himself. " and so on.

When it comes to the forerunner of R&B style, our first reaction is Jay, but in fact, the real forerunner is Tao Zhe, a genius, and when it comes to singing skills, this one is better than Jay.

Well, speaking of which, Jay's fans must scold me. I'm so angry. I don't deny Jay's meaning. I also like some of his songs very much. Even he is very talented, but his singing skills are not so sharp. Ha ha, there is no doubt that Jay is more handsome than Tao Zhe.

As for popularity, Tao Zhe is even worse. Therefore, sometimes, if you don't sing well, you can explain something. Let's talk about the simplest metaphor. I don't think there will be any dispute about this - Jay and Eason Chan's singing skills. Everyone should know very well who wins, but Jay's record sales are total. It's better than Eason Chan. Of course, this is all about Asia, not just Hong Kong!

The promotion of Mandarin records is even simpler. Chen Jin flew to Taiwan for two days, and then rushed back to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Invincible in the East". There is only the last fight scene left in this film. If you want to say, this film is so slow, except for Xu Ke himself. In addition to the many requirements, Chen Jin suddenly took over four plays and other miscellaneous things, which was one of the reasons why he did not have enough time to shoot.

Xu Ke likes Chen Jin very much, but he likes it. He can't stand this kind of thing, but he can't do anything about Chen Jin. Even if he wants to get angry, he will be blocked by Shi Nansheng. By the way, this is the best critical time!

Just spanning April, the play was finally finished. Chen Jin was relieved, and the sales of Mandarin albums did not have much impact because of this season. Instead, it seemed that everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time. The initial boom was a little stunned.

However, Chen Jin's sigh of relief was also temporary, or he was able to go to the Cova Italian restaurant in Taikoo Square that afternoon to drink tea, chat and eat snacks with Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian and Brother Fa.

On the second day of April Fool's Day, all the crew of Love Hotel held a simple opening ceremony in the conference room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong.

The reason why I chose this hotel is that, as the script says, it has a history of more than 30 years and is also a super luxury hotel. At the same time, it is also a hotel that combines classical and modern, Eastern and Western culture.

Perhaps it is not as luxurious and famous as the Peninsula Hotel, but it is very popular. Many super celebrities, including former U.S. President Nixon, Princess Diana, etc., like it here. At the same time, he also has its own characteristics. It has the largest and most luxurious rooms in Hong Kong, super comfortable balcony design, and super good Restaurant and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is very sincere. Unlike the Peninsula Hotel, which has so many rules. The hotel only charges a little fee symbolically, and fully supports Chen Jin's shooting, and is even willing to provide daily meals for the crew free of charge.

Of course, Chen Jin is happy to have such cooperation from the hotel. After all, this is a TV series with many scenes in the hotel. If you ask them to make a request before everything starts like the Peninsula Hotel, and this and that are not allowed, it is really blind. For this reason, in return, Chen Jin will use the name of Mandarin Oriental Hotel without changing a word.

"Love Hotel" is a very good modern fashion drama, especially when this era is full of martial arts, love and hatred in the era of turmoil in the 1930s and 1940s, family resentment and other TV series, it looks so novel and beautiful!

Although there are not many scenes in the Love Hotel, most of them are carried out in hotels, but the plot is attractive enough. It has some things about the details of hotel operation, including room service, catering services, etc. These things are not unusual in the future, but now the information and industry transparency are not high. The times are very attractive.

People are curious, especially for that kind of high-end hotel. It's good to have a look at it. What's more, such a meticulous shooting really makes people feel immersive. Even if it's blowing water, it's a fresh talk. The life of big people is also a hobby of small citizens!

At the same time, he also has some information about commercial acquisitions. Although conspiracy and tricks, love and hatred will still appear, the plot is some fashionable in the future. The concept of love is also full of fashion thinking of modern and future young people, which is novel and completely different from the current mainstream, but he is not For the sake of alternative, he has his mainstream style, which is the most important thing.

For such a good TV series, it is no wonder that the senior management of Wireless agreed to Chen Jin's request as soon as he saw the script. Although Brother Fa didn't say anything, he still appreciated such a script in his heart. As for Wang Zuxian, she was even more happy and said to Chen Jin coquettishly that she could finally make such a fashion drama. And it's such a good play. In order to repay Chen Jin for his kindness to her, he did a lot of bad things for Chen Jin that he usually didn't agree to do.

Since we want to make such a period drama, we need to have more elements of the times. When it is broadcast on the TV station, we can have more topics and form different fashion topics and fashion elements. Correspondingly, it can also make the TV series have more influence.

This is also the reason why Chen Jin paid 20 million yuan to make this movie. The costume prop scene is a luxurious feast. Chen Jin did not hesitate to use the later popular fashion elements in this TV series.

A very simple change can have a very good effect. For example, men's suits are still popular for single-button or double-breasted. However, Chen Jin used the most popular three-button suit later. The three-button suit is very close-fitting. He doesn't want to be as loose as a single-button, and he can't show the man's figure at all, and The three buckles also looked more elegant. When Chen Jin took this suit and gave it to Brother Fa to try, Brother Fa immediately fell in love with him, and Wang Zuxian and Zhou Huimin also praised him.

Obviously, this is a fashion that will be popular, and it is also a topic and a trend that will be formed when TV series are broadcast in the future.

As a producer and producer, and more than half of the director's identity, Chen Jin can make full use of his rights to implement all this. This has been decided early on. In other words, the real director is just an assistant. He usually assists and guides Chen Jin on how to shoot this scene.

Being a director and an actor, Chen Jin has finally realized that the director's job is not easy to do. The director has to do it. If you want to think about it, there are too many things to take care of. The feeling of doing it is really much worse than watching it on the set. No matter how smart Chen Jin is, there are some things that he has never sat on. I can't even think of it.

Fortunately, the first two episodes did not have his role at all. Finally, he had some time to study and adapt, and entered the double-sided role as quickly as possible. Moreover, his speed of adaptation is always amazing.

The shooting lasted for a week, and everything was on track. After a day's work, Brother Fa patted Chen Jin on the shoulder with a smile and mocked, "You are really like a chameleon. When something comes to your hand, it seems that it can become your own."

Chen Jin just shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips, "The loneliness of genius is not something that a mediocre and jealous guy like you can understand."
